Charles M. Bulathsinghala

Charles M. Bulathsinghala is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine, actively contributing to interdisciplinary research spanning molecular microbiology and clinical cardiology. His work focuses on bacterial growth mechanisms and cardiovascular risk assessment.

• Academic Rank: Assistant Professor
• Department: Department of Medicine

Research Interests include:

• Elucidating the role of TonB-dependent systems in Escherichia coli membrane transport and growth regulation
• Developing risk calculators for preoperative cardiac event prediction
• Investigating protein structure-function relationships in bacterial iron transport
• Exploring in vitro effects of thymosin fractions on tumor cell proliferation

Research Trends show a dual focus: molecular microbiology studies (1998-2013) centered on TonB/ExbB systems, and clinical cardiology contributions (2010-2016) addressing acute coronary syndrome and surgical risk stratification. His publications demonstrate expertise in both basic science and translational medicine.
